Elgar – The Dream of Gerontius

08:00 PM

Leeds Town Hall

Conductor David Hill takes the rostrum for a performance of Elgar’s masterwork.

In 2014 we will be joined by Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus, St Peter’s Singers and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra to perform this epic piece with stellar soloists Andrew Kennedy, Jennifer Johnston and Gareth John. At the famous Town Hall organ for this concert will be Darius Battiwalla, interim Chorus Master of the Phil for the season 2012/2013.

We promote this concert in memory of Mary Wilson who sadly died in July 2013 and who was a stalwart supporter, singer and latterly President of the Friends of the Phil.
